Strawberry cheese-nut ring
1 pound medium sharp or sharp cheddar, grated
1 cup finely chopped walnuts, divided
1 cup mayonaise
1/3 cup minced onion
3 to 4 grinds of black pepper
1/2 to 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 cup (or more) strawberry preserves
Mix cheese, half the walnuts, all the mayo and
onion. Add black and cayenne

the remaining nuts. Put the
mixture on a serving plate and shape into a flat
